1. Introduction
1.1 Document purpose
This document represents the response by Schneider Electric for the supply of one Monitoring and Control
Systems (M&C systems) for the photovoltaic power plant of To be defined.
To meet the demands set out, Schneider Electric proposes a solution based on an implementation of its standard
architecture modified if necessary to suit the needs of the To be defined project.
This modular system based on the most recent technologies, has been specially developed for the
monitoring and control of solar power plants. It can be adapted to suit the specific needs of every
plant: The system's structure, together with the expertise of our technical teams, means that
Schneider Electric can offer solutions that are suited to the needs and the demands of all users
(bespoke functions, equipment from other vendors, ).
The Monitoring & Control System from Schneider Electric fits into the PV power plant needs by:
Answering to operation requirements of a PV power plant,
Contribution to the maintenance activities,
Checking the efficiency criterias,
Unavailability assessment of PV power plant,
Enhancing the reliability of PV power plant.
And also:
Centralizing all of the information available from all of stations,
Monitoring and control components at one or more points,
Historically recording and archiving data,
Providing multiple remote accesses.

The response made in our proposal is based on our knowledge and experience of monitoring and control systems
in the PV power plants.
The system is proposed in a standard version that covers all of the requirements of a typical PV power Plant.
Should other functions be deemed necessary, then additional options or bespoke functions may be proposed and
quoted.

3.6 Data Flows
Three types of data flow are used:
1. ModbusTCP/IP
2. DNP3
3. FTP
The data flows are the following:

The modbus TCP/IP flow is dedicated the real time data flow and for 1 minute data in order to be able to animate
the synoptics of the SCADA and display trends (real time data and 1 minute data). In case of any communication
failure between the PLC and the SCADA all the data are lost.
Concerning the DNP3 flow, it is dedicated for the alarm and the events. DNP3 is particularly suitable and reliable
for non permanent communications (modem, radio, etc) low bandwidth data exchanges, as they provide high
efficiency and robustness in data transfer between SCADA systems and RTU devices. They are basically event
driven protocols (report by exception, unsolicited messaging, and event management) as compared to traditional
polling protocols, which help reducing and optimizing data traffic whilst also being efficient for permanent
communications. All alarms and events are time stamped by the DNP3 module. Moreover in case of
communication failure between the PLC and the SCADA, the DNP3 is able to store up to 10000 events and to push
them to the SCADA when the communication is established.
Finally the FTP flow is dedicated to secured data that have to be stored directly into SQL Data Base. The PLC
stores these data into files on its SD Cards and an ftp tool collects them and pushes the data into SQL Tables.
More the tool PVDB Engine transfers the alarm table from the SCADA to SQL tables in order to store the alarms
related to the PV farm during 20 years.

These tables synthesis the data flows between the server (which embeds Clear Scada & the PV DB Engine) and
each RTU of the PV Site:

Clear SCADA
M340 RTU
(PV Box & Grid Box)
PV DB Engine
FTP - Server Client
DNP3 Client (*) Server (*) -
Modbus TCP / IP Client (**) Server (**) -
(*): The M340 RTU uses unsolicited request to send the alarm and events to SCADA: the M340 RTU is in this case
Server. The SCADA uses select before operate request to send oder to the M340 RTU (for example open
command of a switchgear): the SCADA is in this case Server.
(**): The SCADA is polling the data from each M340 RTU every 2s for real time data, and every 1minute for one
minute data. The SCADA can also send some set points to the M340 RTU by modbus TCP/IP (Non critical
setpoint).

3.7 Time Synchronization
In order to consolidate the data (one minute data: average or raw), compare data from one equipment to another
one and timestamp the alarms, the PLC and the server have to be time synchronised. The time synchronisation is
made by the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to guaranty the synchronisation of the clocks of each system.
The SCADA server will be the NTP server of all equipments of the system. It can find out what the right time is in
various ways including accessing Internet-based Atomic Clocks, using networked timeservers, GPS (The Global
Positioning System), Radio clocks, and by listening for time broadcasts over a LAN. The way chosen will be related
to each project.
The time synchronization can be done following two ways:
1. Real time clock
2. Software that makes sure your PCs clock tells the right time. It can find out what the right time is in
various ways including accessing Internet-based Atomic Clocks, using networked timeservers,
GPS (The Global Positioning System), Radio clocks, and by listening for time broadcasts over a
LAN

(*): The M340 RTU calculates a one minute energy from the cumulated energy collected on the device (please
refer to chapter 4.3.3.1 Energy meters (delivery only)). However this is the cumulated energy that it stored into
MEA_PVBox from SQL data base. Indeed in case of lost of communication between the PLC and the energy
meter, the energy is still cumulating the energy. When the communication is recovered we can estimate minute by
minute what has been consumed or produced.
(**): The energy measurements coming from energy meter are cumulated energy. In order to avoid lost of precision
these data are split into 4 integers (for EM1 and EM2 only not available for auxiliary). Thus the energy meter is
able to cumulate up to 9999 9999 9999 9999 Wh. The energy are displayed into REAL format for the real time
data because we dont need precision for displaying data on a synoptic but are stored in a FLOAT format into
SQL to guaranty the precision of the measurement (these data can be used for reporting, performance calculation
).

5. Alarm and events
The goal of this part to ensure that the alarm system acts as a tool that helps the operator taking the correct
actions.
To achieve that result alarm must be properly defined, relevant and easy to understand. The system must also
present the alarms to the operators at a rate he could manage, with rapid access to the location of the alarms in the
system.
Please find hereafter an example of an alarm list:

5.1 Generality
5.1.1 Alarm definition and criteria
An alarm is a mechanism for informing the operator of an abnormal situation for which an operator action
is required.
To be efficient an alarm should answer the following questions:
Does the Event require operator actions?
Is this alarm the best indicator of the situations root cause? An event should not produce multiples
alarms. Alarms should be configured when possible at the root cause
Is this alarm truly resulting from an abnormal situation? Information or normal, expected cases should not
activate alarms

5.1.2 Alarm annunciation and response
Two users can interact with the alarm system: operators and maintenance people (most of the time, these 2 users
are in fact the same person).
Operators are not always in front of the monitoring system: a regular consultation is planned at the moment but the
trend is to reduce to no systemic consultation.
As a consequence main production alarms that have a direct impact on the production (ENS calculation) must be
sent by SMS. When receiving the SMS the operator should logged to the system to identify and analyse the reason
of the alarms then make the needed corrective actions (redirect to the maintenance team, control the plant ).
All other information are defined as Events. System information that are related to alarm causes are defined as
events as well.
Maintenance is directly notified for any technical alarms and any production alarms. If the alarm is assigned to the
maintenance the acknowledgement is done by them.
5.1.3 Priority determination
Three alarm priorities are defined in the system: P1 (High), P2 (Medium), and P3 (low). These priorities are set
based on the severity and the maximum time to respond.
Consequences criteria describes the severity of the different consequences, if the alarm is not taken into account.
Max time to respond should be understood as the maximum time allowed for an operator to take action in order to
avoid or minimize the alarm consequences.
Based on these criteria the following matrix must be filled for each alarm:
Consequence

Max time to respond
Severity
MINOR
Severity
MAJOR
Severity
SEVERE
Promptly P3 P3 P3
Quickly P3 P2 P2
Immediately P2 P1 P1
This rule is not absolute and there will be exceptions. Most common exception is an alarm that doesnt have direct
consequences in a short term but compromise the system integrity (hardware failure, PLC communication error).
General rule in that case will be that these alarms will initiate a maintenance request.

5.1.4 Consequential Alarms
In ClearSCADA, alarms can be suppressed such that when an alarm is raised on a parent item, any alarms raised
on items that reference that parent item are suppressed.
The primary purpose of alarm suppression is to avoid flooding the system with alarms that are a natural
consequence of other alarms. When suppression is used, ClearSCADA only raises alarm(s) for the parent item.
Any changes in value or state that would usually result in alarms being raised for child items are suppressed
(omitted from any alarm displays) so as not to confuse operators by displaying other alarms that would otherwise
be raised due to original parent alarm being active.
When the parent alarm is active:
ClearSCADA will suppress any new child alarms
An event will be logged for each suppressed alarm
Each child items State Alarm status attribute will indicate whether its alarms are suppressed
Any existing child alarms will remain active
The parent alarms Suppressed Alarm Count (displayed, for example, on Alarms Lists and the Alarm
Banner) will indicate how many child alarms are suppressed
Whenever the parent alarm ceases to become active:
ClearSCADA will automatically activate any existing suppressed child alarms (see The Affects of
Suppression on Alarm Displays). The newly activated alarm entries will be time stamped with their
occurrence time
An event will be logged for each existing child alarm that is unsuppressed, indicating the time that the
alarm became unsuppressed

5.2 Alarms of the system
5.2.1 Array Box computed alarms
5.2.1.1 Array currents monitoring
The array current fault detection is based on comparison between the array box average current normalized by the
array box nominal current available and the array current normalized by its nominal current. If the ratio of array
normalized current to AB normal current is lower than a threshold there is an array current fault. This test is
conditioned by the fact that the inverter power at which the AB is linked is greater than a threshold, the inverter
power is stable and by a time slot for the detection (two parameters: time start detection and time stop detection).

5.2.1.2 Array Box current monitoring
The algorithm is the same as the one for array fault detection. The only difference is that the comparison is made
between the AB normalized current by its available nominal current to the maximum AB normalized current of all of
the array boxes that are on the same field (for PV farm all of the Array boxes of an inverter cabin are on the same
field. A field represents the orientation of the PV panels).
5.2.2 DC Box (2x10 channels) computed alarms
The MC&S will detect channel current fault by using the same algorithm than the one used for array current fault
detection (see 5.2.1.2).

5.2.3 Sensor monitoring
All sensor values are monitored by the system. A quality is linked to the sensor to give information about the
scaling and the communication status. This quality is displayed in the SCADA and logged as events.
For main sensors overranges, high / low threshold are also defined as alarms with the right priority (see 5.1.3).
5.2.4 Maintenance alarm
A specific category of alarm (named P4) is defined to show all maintenance actions that are pending in the system:
these actions are mainly equipment states or modes that should not be set in normal operations.
These alarms are listed per site in a specific mimic and directly accessible through the banner item:

6.1 Data storage
In order to save the consolidated data (1 minute data) in case of communication failure between the SCADA and
the M340 RTU, the M340 RTU stored all the consolidated data (that will be pushed into SQL) on a SD Card.
Depending of the type of M340 RTU (PV Box or Grid Box) there will have different types of files:
PV Box:
o MEA_AB: Contains consolidated data of all the array boxes linked to the PV Box
o MEA_INV: Contains consolidated data of all the inverters linked to the PV Box
o MEA_PVBox: Contains consolidated data of the PV Box
Grid Box:
o MEA_WS: Contains consolidated data of the weather station embedded into the Grid Box
o MEA_GridBox: Contains consolidated data of the Grid Box
6.1.1 PV Box data storage depth
The depth (expressed in day) depends on the configuration of the PV Box:
Number of Array Boxes
Number of Inverters
The storage capacity of the SD Card is 128 Mo.
The equipments size for 1 minute data is the following:
PV Box: 132 bytes
Inverter: 60 bytes
Array Box: 128 bytes
Equipment SD Card Size for 1 minute Number of equipment
PV Box 132 1
Inverter 60 2
Array Box 128 12
Data Storage length 52 days

Note: In case of using monitored DC Box instead of monitored Array Boxes the M340 of the PV Box will be able to
store data during more than 52 days.

6.2 Managing the interface with the Grid operation
6.2.1 Distributed Control System
The Utility requires coupling and decoupling functionality following:
A specified interface (DCS)
Coupling & decoupling procedures
To answer the requirements the interface between the site and the Utility is managed by the M340 RTU of the Grid
Box. It manages the interface with the Utility and all coupling and decoupling sequences defined by the Utility.
6.2.1.1 Interface
The interface between the Utility and the Solar Farm can be managed by:
Wired signals (digital inputs and analog inputs): case of the French interface DEIE
Communication:
o DNP3 over TCP/IP: requires a secured connection (VPN) between the solar farm and the Utility centre
o DNP3, IEC 870-5-101 or IEC 870-5-104 over GPRS: requires to add on the architecture the Schneider
Electric module w@de (Rf. W@de W315)
The signals acquired by the M&CS are the following:
Digital signals:
o Coupling authorization
o End of decoupling request
o Decoupling request
o End of active power limitation
o Active power limitation request
o End of reactive power limitation
o Reactive power limitation request
o Cut off request
o End of cut off request
Analog signals:
o Active power set point
o Reactive power set point

6.2.1.2 Maximum configuration of a site
The M340 RTU of one Grid Box can manage the coupling / decoupling functionality for up to:
2 incomers
1 coupling cell
6 Grid Box feeders
32 PV boxes with each one:
o 4 PV Box feeders
o 8 inverters
Note that for the PV Box only 2 inverters can be associated to one PB feeder.
6.2.1.3 SME Mode Management (Special Mode of Exploitation) Dedicated to French market
This mode is optional.
The Utility can activate or disable the SME mode. This order is memorized by a bi-stable relay and wired with the
local SME command of incomer(s), and of the coupling cell, managed by the protection Relay: this order is wired
on Input 22 of the protection relay.
When the SME mode is in service all temporizations for protections are disabled. In this case any network side
fault is considered as a long one.
The SME mode is not wired on the PLC of the Grid Box but it is read by Modbus communication into sepam S48
register. This information will be used in order to update the state of the mode that the site has to provide to the
Utility.

6.2.1.4 Tele-action Management (H4 system) Dedicated to French market
This system is optional.
6.2.1.4.1 Material Description
A TGS Box is installed into the Grid Box. This box has 3 digital outputs:
Trip order(1)
Tripping information (2)
Out of service
6.2.1.4.2 Operational principle
The trip order (1) is sent directly to the DM2 to open it (trip coil with power-up). The tripping information (2) and the
information out of service (3) are wired on input of the protection relay (S48).
The TCD of DCS TGS in service/TGS out of service activates or disables the bi-stable relay. The opening of the
contactor of this bi-stable inhibits action of trip of the DM2; another contactor of this bi-stable is wired on input of
the protection relay (S48).
The information TGS out of service is used by the protection relay (S48) in order to inhibit temporisations of
protections.
The PLC of the Grid Box will read the state TGS in service or TGS out of service on the sepam 48. In state
TGS out of service, all network side faults are considered as a long network side fault.
A tripping order from the TGS box will lead to the opening of the incomer(s) and of the coupling cell and due to
interlock the opening of PV feeders of the Grid Box. Then two cases have to be considered:
Tele-action tripping (I24 is true) is lower than 50s (this time refers to the time that can be customized to
define long external fault) : in this case the coupling sequence will follow the one described for short
network side fault
Tele-action tripping (I24 is true) is greater then 50s (this time refers to the time that can be customized to
define long external fault): in this case the coupling sequence will follow the one described for long
network side fault

6.2.2 Coupling functionality
The PV feeders of a grid box have to be at least monitored otherwise the following description is not
applicable.
6.2.2.1 General information
The PLC of the Grid Box checks the closing condition in order to send closing order to the circuit breaker that
manage the connection to the grid. The closing condition is true if all the following conditions are true:
No network side fault in progress
No long network side fault in progress
Protection Relay in remote mode
No PV side fault in progress
Not PV farm in Maintenance mode (switch inside the monitoring cubicles of the Grid Box
Not PV farm in Manual mode
In order to maintain the auxiliaries in service, the circuit breaker that manage the connection to the grid is closed
first in the coupling functionality by the PLC of the Grid Box, if the closing condition is true.
All opening orders on coupling cell and feeder cells are inhibited in case of C13-100 fault. This inhibition is
automatically inhibited once coupling cell has been close manually and locally.
A wired inter-trip is opening the PV feeder cells when the coupling cell is opened.
The utility requests to couple the PV farm 1MW per 1 MW. This functionality is managed by the PLC of the grid box
by closing one by one the GB feeder cells and by the module VD23 for the temporized closing of PV Boxs feeder
cell and starting inverters when the PB feeder associated is seen as closed..
Note:
The mode of the installation can be modified through the SCADA:
Automatic: means that the PLC manages by itself the coupling / decoupling functionality
Manual: means that all the automatic sequences for coupling / decoupling inside the PLC are disabled.
Only manual action can be performed.
When the installation is in Manual mode the installation is considered as unavailable.

6.2.2.2 Automatic coupling after a network side fault
There are two types of network side fault detected by a protection relay:
Short network side fault
Long network side fault
The long network side fault is a network side fault that lasts longer than a defined period (By default 50s). This
period is a parameter than can be adjusted through the SCADA.
The network side fault is active when protection relay detects:
Min or Max voltage
Min or Max frequency
Homopolar fault
The protection relay maintains this default in order to be sure the PLC is able to detect it. Network side fault is
active when logical equation V9 is active. The logical equation V9 is a synthesis of network side fault (V7 and V8
are the details of the network side fault: Min of voltage or maximum of U0 and Min or Max frequency or Maximum
Voltage).
In case of appearance of this fault, the protection relay will automatically open the incomer(s) or the coupling cell.
Due to the interlocking between the incomer(s) (or the coupling cell) and the PV feeders, the PV feeders of the GB
will be automatically opened.
The network side fault has priority over the decoupling request.
Note:
If Special Mode of Exploitation signal is in service, or TGS signal out of service is active, or TGS fault signal is
active then all network side faults are considered as long network side fault and will be treated in the same way.
The PLC of the Grid Box will not distinguish the short network side fault from long network side fault.
If the previous condition on RSE and TGS isnt true, regarding the distinction between the short or long network
side fault, the values by default are:
Time for long external fault = 50 s
Time before recoupling = 3 minutes
These temporisations can be adjusted through the SCADA.

6.2.2.2.1 Short network side fault (known as Short GTE fault in France)
If the network side fault lasts less than the defined period for long network side fault (time for long external fault),
the PLC of the Grid Box will automatically close the incomer(s) and the coupling cell after the time before
recoupling. The PLC of the Grid Box will send the close order to incomer(s) and the coupling cell if the closing
authorization is true:
No fault in progress and
Protection relay in remote mode and
Not farm in maintenance or manual mode
Contrary to long network side fault, for a short network side fault the PLC of the Grid Box will keep the output
Coupling authorization received set and the output Waiting coupling authorization reset.
Once the incomer(s), and the coupling cell are closed, the PLC of the Grid Box will close sequentially the feeder
cells as described in the paragraph coupling/recoupling. Concerning the PV Box, each 23DV device of each PV
Box will close sequentially the feeder in order to follow the rules for grid connection, the inverter is started when the
PB feeder associated is seen as closed. The coupling sequence was stopped with the appearance of the network
side fault, so the coupling sequence is reinitialized. The PLC of the Grid Box will set to 1 End of network side
fault.
6.2.2.2.2 Long network side fault (known as Long GTE fault in France)
If the network side fault is longer or equal to the period for long network side fault (by default 50s) then the PLC of
the Grid Box will reset the output Coupling authorization received and then set to 1 the output Waiting coupling
authorization. The PLC of the Grid Box will act as a decoupling request. The PLC of the Grid Box will send a stop
order to all the inverters.
In order to maintain the auxiliaries in service, the circuit breaker that manages the connection to the grid, is
automatically closed by the PLC of the Grid Box 3 minutes after the disappearance of network side fault but the
feeder cells are maintained in opened position, the coupling authorization has been reset in case of long network
side fault. The temporization of 3 minutes can be adjusted through the SCADA. The close order to incomer(s) and
the coupling cell is sent if the closing authorization is true:
No fault in progress and
Protection relay in remote mode and
Not farm in maintenance or manual mode
In this case only auxiliaries of the Grid Box are in service. Those of PV Box will pass on UPS. So if the long
network side fault is longer than the capacity of the UPS you will need to close manually and locally on site each
PV Box after the disappearance of network side fault.
Once the installation receives from the utility the coupling authorization, the sequence of coupling is the one
described in paragraph coupling/recoupling. The coupling sequence was stopped with the appearance of the
network side fault, so the coupling sequence is reinitialized. The PLC of the Grid Box will set to 1 the output
Coupling authorization received, then reset the output Waiting coupling authorization, and set to 1 End of
network side fault.

6.2.2.3 Management of a PV side fault (known as C13-100 fault in France)
6.2.2.3.1 Description of PV side fault
The PV side fault refers to all middle voltage faults detected on the site. The faults are the followings:
Max instantaneous current: 50
Max overload current: 51
Max earth current: 51N
Max homopolar power: 32N
All these faults are memorized by the protection relay (SEPAM S48 until their acknowledgment on the protection
relay.
6.2.2.3.2 Recoupling after PV side fault
When a PV side fault appears the protection relay (SEPAM S48) will automatically open the coupling cell. Due to
interlock the Grid Box PV feeders are opened too.
No remote actions are possible: an operator has to acknowledge manually and locally the fault. Then in order to
avoid any trouble on site, the M340 RTU of the Grid Box will forbid any remote command on coupling cell and Grid
Box PV Feeders:
Coupling cell close order
PV Feeders close order
The M340 RTU of the Grid Box doesnt manage an automatic recoupling sequence for C13-100 fault. Thus the only
way to close the fault is to solve the issue on site.
Once the issue is sold then the operator / maintenance people has to acknowledge locally the fault.
Then the coupling cell (or the incomer(s)) and GB feeder cells can be close manually. Then each PV Feeder
without Flair fault can be closed manually.
Depending to the duration of the fault two cases have to be considered:
Fault shorter than PV Boxes UPS capacity: the Flair 23VD device will close sequentially and
automatically all PV Boxes feeder. Thus the inverters will restart automatically
Fault longer than PV Boxes UPS capacity: all the PV Feeders will have to be closed manually and locally
(no remote action possible in this case because there is no more supply.)
Note: the M340 RTU will manage a flag for coupling cell and all GB feeder cells in order to avoid remote close
order : set to 1 when the PV side fault appears and reset when the cells are seen as closed

6.2.3 Management of Utility requests
6.2.3.1 Utility decoupling request
The Utility decoupling request stops all the inverters of the site. The M340 RTU of the Grid Box will send a stop
order to all inverters of the site. The stop request will open automatically the DC switch and contactor of each
inverter: there is a physical decoupling of all producer of the installation liked requested by the Utility. This will
maintain the auxiliaries under supply.
In the function bloc Utility Interface, during the decoupling request, the M340 RTU of the Grid Box will:
Set to 1 the signal Decoupling Request received
Reset the signal End of decoupling request received
After the stop order to all the inverters, a temporization of 2 minutes is executed. This temporization can be
adjusted through the SCADA.
After this temporization, the M340 RTU of the Grid box will check the system state each inverter of each PV Box. If
2 minutes after the decoupling order, the M340 RTU of the Grid Box notices at least one inverter is still coupled, it
will request an open order to the PV Box Feeder which the inverter is linked. Automatically, the inverters will be
decoupled. Note that in this case if the decoupling order is longer than the UPS capacity the only way to close the
feeder of the PV Box will be to close it manually on site. The PLC isnt supplied anymore.
A temporization of 1 minute is executed (time before P check). This temporization can be adjusted through the
SCADA.
In order to secure the decoupling request the M340 RTU of the Grid Box will check that there is no power injected
on the Grid 3 minutes after the decoupling request, otherwise it will open incomer(s) or the coupling cell. The M340
RTU of the Grid Box will check the active power output of the energy meter on the metering cell. The value of
active power P must be lower than a defined parameter. If the value is greater than the parameter, it means that
there is production: the M340 RTU of the Grid Box will send an open order to incomer(s), the coupling cell, and the
decoupling sequence is finished. Due to the interlocking between incomer(s), coupling cell and the GB feeders, the
GB feeders will be open automatically. The M340 RTU of the Grid Box will keep the GB feeder open (no closing
order).
At the end of decoupling sequence and if the farm is not decoupled, an alarm is sent to the SCADA and a SMS is
sent in order to warn the discrepancy between the decoupling order and not decoupled state of the farm.
Note: No coupling authorization will be sent to the M340 RTU of the Grid Box after a decoupling request.

6.2.3.2 Utility coupling request
When the RTU of the Grid Box receives the order End of decoupling request it will automatically (if there is no
external fault or PV side fault and the coupling authorization has been received):
Reset the signal Decoupling Request received
Set to 1 the signal End of decoupling request received
Close GB feeders and PV Boxes sequentially liked described in chapter 6.2.2.1
Send start inverter orders in parallel of PV Box close order: the start orders will send sequentially in order
to follow Utility rules. The coupled command to the inverter is sent when the linked PB feeder is closed.
Note: the coupling order will lead to:
Set to 1 the signal Farm coupled
Reset the signal Farm not coupled

6.2.3.3 Active power limitation
The utility can request to limit the active power. This request will lead the M340 RTU to
Set to 1 the signal Starting active power limitation
Reset the signal End of active power limitation
The active power limitation request goes with a threshold sent by the Utility. This threshold is a 4-20mA signal with
the following scaling (scaling has to be approved by the Utility):
4mA refers to 20%
20mA refers to 100%
The PLC of the Grid Box will send to all PV Boxes RTU the setpoints to apply to all inverters:
active power (P in percent),
reactive power (Q in percent), angle (in degrees)
apparent power (S in percent).
These setpoints take into account the order coming from the Utility and the inverters status. The inverters status is
used to calculate the real and available active power. The real active power is the sum of the peak power of each
coupled and unavailable inverter. This real active power is compared with the theoretical active power of the site.
Then, a coefficient is applied in the calculation of the active power setpoint sent to inverters.
Example:
PV farm of 5 inverters of 500kW each Site Power Peak = 2500kW
1 inverter is in fault (no production) Site Power Peak available = 2000kW
Utility Set point for active power = 50%
In this case the set point applied to each inverter is:
62.5% 50% x 1.25 Point Set
Peak Power
Peak Power
Point Set
Utility
Available

= = =
When the utility will send to order End of active power limitation then the M340 RTU of the Grid Box will:
Set to 1 the signal End of active power limitation
Reset the signal Starting active power limitation

6.2.3.4 Reactive power limitation
The utility can request to limit the reactive power. This request will lead the M340 RTU to
Set to 1 the signal Starting reactive power limitation
Reset the signal End of reactive power limitation
The reactive power limitation request goes with a threshold sent by the Utility. This threshold is a 4-20mA signal
with the following scaling (scaling has to be approved by the Utility):
4mA refers to 0%
20mA refers to100%
The PLC of the Grid Box will send to all PV Boxes RTU the setpoints to apply to all inverters:
active power (P in percent),
reactive power (Q in percent), angle (in degrees)
apparent power (S in percent).
These setpoints take into account the order coming from the Utility.
When the utility will send to order End of active power limitation then the M340 RTU of the Grid Box will:
Set to 1 the signal End of reactive power limitation
Reset the signal Starting reactive power limitation

6.2.4 Exchanges with the Utility
6.2.4.1 Measurements from the site
The utility can request to deliver on 4-20mA signals the measurements of:
3. Active Power P
4. Reactive Power Q
5. Voltage U
These measurements are read from the Energy Meter in the Grid Box. These values are refreshed every 2
seconds.
The scaling is the following:
Active Power: 4-20mA refers to 0-xxMW
Reactive Power: 4-20mA refers to -yy.zz MVar (Inductive mode) to yy.zz MVar (Capacitive mode)
Voltage: 4-20mA refers to xx kV yy kV
Note: If the measurements are exchanged by communication (through TCP/IP or GPRS) there is no scaling.
6.2.4.2 State of the site
The utility expects the site to deliver its status:
1. Not Coupled
2. Coupled
3. Unavailable
6.2.4.2.1 Not coupled
The PLC of the Grid Box will send the alarm Not coupled if:
There is no production to the grid. The PLC of the Grid Box will check the active power output of the
Energy meter delivery: the value of active power P must be lower than a defined parameter
OR All inverters of the site are in decoupled state.
OR all PV Box Feeders of the site are opened. The PLC of the Grid Box will check the status of all PV
box feeders. This status must be open for all PV box feeders.
OR all Grid Box PV Feeders of the site are opened: the PLC of the Grid Box will check the status of all
the Grid Box PV feeders. All the status must be open.
OR all incomers and the coupling cell are opened: the PLC of the Grid Box will check the status by
hardware wired inputs or by communication signal. The status must be open.

6.2.4.2.2 Coupled
The site is declared as coupled if:
There is production to the grid. The PLC of the Grid Box will check the active power output of the Energy
meter delivery: the value of active power P must be greater than a defined parameter OR (
At least one incomer and one coupling cell (if exist according to the configuration of the site) are closed:
the PLC of the Grid Box will check the status by hardware wired inputs or by communication signal. The
status must be close.
AND at least one Grid Box PV Feeder is closed. The PLC of the Grid Box will check the status of all Grid
Box PV feeders. At least, one status must be close.
AND at least one PV Box feeder is closed. The PLC of the Grid Box will check the states on the PV box
feeder cell (CB S10) by I/O scanning. At least, one state of a PV Box feeder cell must be close.
AND at least one inverter of the closed PV box feeder is running. The PLC of the Grid Box will check the
system state of each inverter in all the PV boxes. At least, one inverter associated with the closed PB
feeder cell must be in coupled state.
6.2.4.2.3 Unavailable
A site unavailable means that the site isnt ready to receive information or order from Utility. This is true in case of
maintenance mode (switch button is positioned on maintenance mode manually in the GB) or manual mode
(through the SCADA) or simulation mode (enabled through the SCADA):
When the simulation mode is enabled through the SCADA, the farm is unavailable but the orders from the
SCADA are authorized. In simulation mode, when the Maintenance or Manual mode is enabled, the simulation
mode is disabled because the operator cant simulate orders. In this case of maintenance of manual mode, the
farm is unavailable and the Grid box PLC doesnt apply either the orders from Utility (simulation mode is disabled).

In case of communication problem (information of the devices are not sufficient to determine if the site is
coupled or decoupled), if all devices of one group of the GB (all Incomers and the coupling cell, or all GB feeders)
are unavailable (not present or communication problem), the site is declared as unavailable.

6.3 M&C system communication interface
The M&C system can be interfaced with an external system using its imbedded OPC server interface. The system
integrated:
Server: Data Access (DA), Historical Data Access (HDA) and Alarms & Events (AE) Optional
Client: Data Access (DA)
The data stored into SQL are directly accessible through OPC HDA: however it can be configured into the SCADA
to have an access of some data of the SQL data base. Indeed if all the data stored into SQL have to be available
on OPC HDA it will reduce the performance of the system. To guaranty the best performance, we recommend to
limit the data to the energy of each equipment (Array Boxes, Inverters, Power Meters).
For this, its necessary to define the complete list of data (Please refer to Monitoring specific definition document).
Finally the M&C system is by default fully compliant with web services:
Web services for the SCADA
Web services for SQL Data base
6.4 Specific Inverters management
The M&C system will manage specific functionality for the inverter:
Maintenance mode: dedicated mode for the maintenance team
Power derating on high inverter temperature
6.4.1 Maintenance mode
This mode allows the operator or the maintenance people to manage manually the inverter. Thus trough this mode
the M&C system can directly send to inverter the active power and the angle setpoints.
6.4.2 Power derating on high inverter temperature
This function is optional and only available for GT500 & GT630.
This functionality is there to prevent the inverter of failure. It is based on hysteresis principle. While the temperature
of the inverter is less than High level temperature there is no power limitation. When the temperature is greater or
equal to high level power limitation becomes active. The power derating will stop only if the inverter temperature is
less or equal to low level temperature:

Note: This functionality is only available for the GT500 & GT630 inverters. XC500, XC630 & XC680 inverters are
managing the power derating depending the temperature by their own.

6.6.1 Theoretical energy calculation
There are two different methods to calculate the theoretical energy:
By ratio of power peak
By Reference performance ratio
6.6.1.1 Ratio of power peak method
Each electrical device of a PV farm represents a percentage of the global power peak of the installation. So the
M&CS will calculate the available power peak of the installation. Thus the theoretical energy will be:

Then the system calculates for each valid measurement a test value to compare to the Grubb gauge (which
depends on the level of confidence and the number of sensors that returns valid data):

6.6.4 Alarms monitored for ENS calculation
The alarms that the system monitored to calculate the ENS are the following:
Alarms Description
Grid_Stability (*) Grid Box Grid is not stable
Not Connected_To_Grid (**) Grid Box Not Connected to the Grid
Utility_Active_Power_Reduction Utility Active power reduction request
Utility_Decoupling_Order Utility Decoupling order
Grid Box_Coupling_Open Grid Box Coupling Switchgear open
Grid Box_Feeder_Open Grid Box Feeder Switchgear open
PV Box_Feeder_Open PV Box Feeder Switchgear open
INV_Fault_Status Inverter Fault Status <> 0
INV_P_Lim_Temp Inverter Active power limitation on high temperature
DCP_Channelxx_I_Fault DCP Channel xx current fault (xx from 01 to 10)
AB_I_Fault ABxx Total current fault
AB_SwD_Open AB Switch Disconnector Open
Note: All these alarms are coming from Clear Scada and are stored into SQL Database (in table ALR). The list of
the alarms can be updated project by project
(*): The stability is calculated by the M340 RTU of the grid box and is specific to the project (for example: frequency
low, voltage low ). If this state is active all the ENS not supplied will be not the responsibility of Schneider
Electric. This alarm will not generate ENS.
(**): The Grid Box is declared as connected to the grid if:
at least one incomer of the grid box is closed in case of no coupling cell on the Grid Box
at least one the incomer of the grid box is closed AND the coupling cell is closed
6.7 Energy estimation in case of data losses
In case of communication failure or a crash of the M340 RTU the one minute data can be lost. However all energy
meters of the M&C system calculate a cumulated energy. So with this cumulated data the M&C system is able to
estimate the one minute data missing as following:
datas missing of Number
period data Missing
Average
Gi
k) sample of (Date
Average
Gi

data missing of Number
failure of Start
E
failure of End
E

k Sample
Estimated
E
=

In this case the bit estimated data of the measurements in the SQL measurement tables will be set to 1.
Note: This option has to be validated by the customer otherwise it will be not activated.

7.2 Mimics
Information managed by the M&C system is available through the WEB interface of M&C server, local or distant.
The human Machine Interface is structured in several mimics and reports from general views to detailed views.
General views are geographical views which allow to access to station views (single line diagrams).
Single line diagrams allows to access to detailed views (for a Power-Meter as an example) or to reports.
Each view includes links to others pages according to hierarchical or functional rules. These links are accessible
from underlined texts in blue colour.
Statuses of equipment are displayed by labels associated with a colour:
Green for normal status,
Red in case of fault,
Pink for undefined statuses
Concerning analog data, the value is also associated with a colour:
Blue if the quality is good
Pink is the quality is not good (communication fault, value out of range, module acquisition out of order):
in this case the value display is ???

7.5 Reports
The Monitoring & Control system offers reporting function based on Crystal Reports tool.
7.5.1 Reporting
The reports allow verifying quickly and automatically the production and failures from the power plant.
For all report, the title banner is built as that:
The first title is the description of the report.
The second title is the name of the farm.
The last title is composed with the type of the report and the date formatted.
The system is delivered with a standard template:
Production Site report : allows to compare the production depending of the irradiance
GridBox Production report : allows to compare the GridBox production depending of the irradiance
PVBox Production report : allows to compare the PVBox production depending of the irradiance
According to its specifications, each report can be generated either for a specific day, a specific month (one line of
data per day of the month) or a specific year (one line of data per month of the year):
Array Box current: allows comparing the average current of each array of same box conditioning at the
good irradiation of panel or during a specific interval of hours within the day.
DCP current: allows comparing the average current of each array of same box conditioning at the good
irradiation of panel or during a specific interval of hours within the day
Performance report : calculate the performance ratio on site
o Global report
o Site Report
o Graph Grid Report
o Grid Report
o Graph PVBox Report
o PVBox Report
According to its specifications, this report can be generated either for a specific month (one line of data per day of
the month):
Estimated Site production report:
Daily Energy Not Supplied report : complete list of events and failure on site, with energy not supplied for
each default period
Meteorological & Production report: allows to compare the production & consumption depending the
global and horizontal irradiance and the temperature

6 Principle of internal cabling
Wire cross-section is adapted to each circuit (for RTU inputs S = 1.5 mm2).
The wires used are of a non flame propagation kind (C2 type according to standard NFC 32.070).
Two wires at most per connection.
7 Wire ends
Use of crimped cylindrical ends adapted to wire cross-section.
8 Wire colors
AC source: Phase: brown
Neutral: light blue
DC source: Positive polarity: red
Negative polarity: white
Earth connection: Green/yellow
Input/output nformation: Black or colored according to standard DIN 47100
9 Identification
Hardware: Hardware is identified by an engraved plate bearing the reference of the equipment wiring
diagram.
Terminal blocks: Each terminal is marked with the reference of the equipments wiring diagram.
Wire: Each wire (except digital inputs) is marked with the reference of the terminal to which it is
connected ( wiring terminal type marking). Digital inputs are identified by coloring wires (norm DIN
47100 )
Equipment: Equipment is identified by an engraved plate placed in the top lefthand corner on the front
panel of the enclosure.
10 Earth
Inside the enclosure, all metal parts and all protection conductors are connected to a main earth bar (35 mm2)
which must be connected to the site earth on installation.
Note: all the equipments electrical circuits are unearthed (except for filters and surge arresters, if required).

12 Equipment inspections
After assembly and cabling, the equipment undergoes an end of manufacturing inspection consisting of the
following checks:
hardware conformity
marking conformity
dimensional conformity
cabling conformity
measuring earth continuity
measuring insulation resistance and dielectric strength between the various circuits and the earth
energization with verification of the various circuits (power supply, RTU, relay, etc...).
